Port Moresby, June 17.
ON June 15, Miss Hilda Maddocks, of the Crown Law Office, was admitted to practise as a barrister and soli citor of the Supreme Court of Papua- New Guinea.
Her admission was moved by the Crown Law Officer (Mr. E. B. Bignold) before Mr. Justice Phillies and Mr. Justice Gore, who both gave short addresses of wel come.
Miss Maddocks is the first woman to have been admitted to the Supreme Court of Papua-New Guinea. A touch of femininity doubtless will do the legal fraternity no harm.
